USA and Finland are playing in the bronze medal game on Saturday and it comes after the United States lost to Canada in a tough hockey matchup at the Olympics and the matchup is streaming live from NBC online and comes before the Canada and Sweden gold medal game and that will be on Sunday morning and the Canadians and Swedes are the last two gold medal winning teams.
The games lasted 60 minutes and had over 60 shots, but there was just one goal from Jamie Benn in the first period and that was enough for Canada. The Canadian team did not score much in their run to the game and the US scored in bunches, but it was the defense that won out and while Jonathan Quick had a great game, he missed the one goal from Benn and that was enough. Canada did it without John Tavares and leading scorer Phil Kessel couldn't get it done for the US, as Carey Price put up a shutout and now he will go up against one of the best goalies in the world in Henrik Lundqvist and he already has a gold medal and this is Price's first Olympics.
The US and Canada played another great game and that came after Vancouver last time around and that is considered to be one of the greatest games ever and that went into overtime and Sidney Crosby won it for Canada. The United States now needs to win to get a medal and the Canadians are looking for a third gold in four Games and comes after they did not lose in the preliminary round. Quick could be in next again, but the team also has Ryan Miller and they are playing against the Finland team that won over the home team in Russia.
Sweden was able to win over Finland and they are big rivals and Lundqvist had another great game and now Teemu Selanne will try and lead his team to a medal against the United States. The finals are on Sunday and the bronze medal game is on Saturday.
